Love daves playing always have .. :)
So many amazing drummers. But that one is just not human
there is no way this Giant isn't relevant FOREVER !
Me: Wish I could get my drums to sound like that.
Drums: Wish I could get my drummer to sound like that.
BLUEPLANETJAZZ Lmao that's exactly right bro. My drums would say the same!!!
That is so effing great LMAO!
HAHAHAHAH damn so true lmao
This is the truest comment I’ve ever seen on youtube
Don’t beat yourself up bud! X
Keep playing so long as you’re enjoying it! 👊🏻😎
That left hand is magic.
It certainly is!
Island magic.
It sure is.
his technique is amazing~🤤

Killer dynamics.. 🙄
Give this man an honorary degree in fluid dynamics.
Consistently incredible. One of the best players of all time.
Hands down. One of my early influences
My favorite...he’s incredible
Yes!!!
Yes. Just yes.
For sure! The drums can sing through his hands!
Dave Weckl, the drummer you never tire of listening to, watching and enjoying.
Yeah this is just great. He’s just chillin.
I couldn't stop listening to this. I think a lot of , if not most drum solos are not interesting if not boring. Weckl is very subtle, surprising, always interesting and surprising. Not to mention amazing technique. I think he's the best drummer in the world.
I saw him over 20 years ago sitting in with Spokane Falls Community College Orchestra. I’ll never forget that night!! What an amazing talent!!
So many ideas, so much flow. I love listening to him.
He is a humble person, I enjoy his transparency & honest advice to drummers. I met him several yrs. ago at a drum clinic. He never disappoints, I might exaggerate but I think Senri Kawaguchi might take the baton or torch the day Dave retires. Just my opinion considering there's more great drummers out there.
Without breaking a sweat, Dave shows us how really good technique, combined with really good rhythmic and phrasing ideas, including dynamics, can allow for this kind of drumming. it's a superb demonstration of the hard work it takes to get to this kind of level of ability. Thanks Dave for the lesson and the music.
Yep. 100%. TY. Wisdom
Spoken by a great drummer himself... thank you for your contributions as well. Perfectly said btw❤️👍🏼
Dynamics Cool Ace!
Agree and Ralph, you sir are a legend.
RIP sir.😔
I think Dave Weckl is probably the Greatest Drummer of ALL (in Western Culture at least)! He’s taken all the greatest things from all the great Drummers that have come before him and has brought Drumming to a whole new level!! Thanks Dave!
Without question, one of the greatest players of all time!!
I concur 1000%👍
I bought a double VHS Dave Weckl instructional when I was only a year into drumming. I'm still trying to nail the first groove 30 years later. hehe.
I feel it man
DW is a BEAST, for sure! I started listening to him probably 20+ years ago and never cease to be amazed. Also check out Omar Hakim!! Watching his play is like watching a glass of water play. He is so absolutely fluid!! A true inspiration!!
I have the same pb with a Terry Bozzio VHS lol
Hahaha! Classic.
Don't worry! Don't compare yourself to the godfather of drums. Greetings from germany Christoph 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
I have studied so many drummers...but this guy...… He is beyond human...its like an anointing or something.
He's a freaking stick control maestro! THEN he has the audacity to be musical on top of that! Ridiculously amazing!
Without question one of the all-time greats. My personal favorite. Dude probably snores in 6/8.
there is NOBODY better than King Weckl .... I'll bet my life on that fact !
Man this comment made me laugh! So true 😂
Hey Dave. I just wanted to say that you're my hero. I've heard you say in interviews before that you wouldn't be playing the drums if it weren't for Buddy Rich. Well Dave, you're my Buddy Rich.
Amen, Mark!
I love this comment!
Honestly same
He plays better than Buddy and still manages to be a nice person.
I haven't heard a drummer that plays his notes so exacting and that feels so right for the music as Dave. The silkiest technician. Just butter smooth.
Dynamics is what I love about Dave Weckl.
Exactly and very dynamic and subtle dynamics.
YES! The KING of dynamics. My all time favorite is Louis Bellson, but Dave has everyone beat (no pun) with dynamics and style and swagger.
and very articulate.
There are millions of people like me that play drums. And then there are the rare few that take the art of drumming to another level entirely. Thats Dave Weckl.
indeed
Or jut have two brains like Thomas Lang
Dave has been a drumming hero for over 25 years. He's as good as they get. Period.
He's incredible, in my humble opinion..the best drummer on the planet!
Would not argue that
This is seriously one of my favorite drum solos ever. Weckl is aging like the finest of wines: incredible tone, incredible facility, incredible ideas and musicality.
There is something uniquely special about someone like Dave. His solos are tasteful and make sense. There’s a story. Listen to the dynamics. They’re flawless and truly speak louder than if he were to play fast and loud the entire time. He’s a master. Has the touch and truthfully makes the drums sing. You don’t get that much anymore. I hope anyone reading this in the era of social media and trying to get “likes” or shares on social media, to remember this drum solo. This drum solo is really what a drum solo should be. It takes shape and sets the tone for what he has taken a lifetime to develop. Legend, icon and a true musician. Dave we love you.
There is nobody like Dave. There are lots of great drummers in the world but Dave is the ultimate in precision.
I'm not a drummer, I'll never be a drummer and I bloody love my basses, but Dave Weckl is just brilliant. Simply gorgeous playing.
There are lots of great drummers but I enjoy listening to Weckl the most. His drumming just sounds the best - creative and tasty
I totally and utterly 100% respect Dave W, Vinnie C, Steve G and Dennis C. You have all been huge inspirations to me all my drumming life, also Gregg B. God Bless You all for the passion to your craft, professionalism and drumming musicality. With Humbleness, David Curtis 🎶🥁😎
And Peter Erskine
Billy Cobham
Speed, dynamics, inventiveness, fluidity - Who else in drum kit drumming has musical mastery of the drum kit like this??? Weckl's the absolute BOMB!!!
My favourite drummer. His precision, clarity, articulation, drum tone and musicality always been an inspiration to me.. Imagine.. how much one has to practice to achieve this level of perfection!!!
Salute to you Mr. Weckl 🙏
Weck changed my direction of drumming way back in 1989. Thanks Weck.
One of the smoothest drummers ever. Got the privilege of going to one of his clinics and talking to him. He was nice enough to give me his sticks after he signed them! A possession I deeply treasure! 😊
Dave’s Technique is unparalleled. Inspirational.
I could listen to Weckl solo all day long. And seeing how I'm under quarantine right now that may be a possiblity
The best alive right now. Who's better?
My favorite drummer. Hands down.
Few people get close, but no one compares.
Me too. Also been HUGE into Todd Sucherman for the last couple years.
i don't think he can put his hands down 🤔
Well, it could be one hand down, one foot up while the other limbs play a cross rhythmic ostinato over several time signatures creating the impression of different pulses all at the same time. But I get what you mean :P
Well..after years,and years of lessons and practice, all I can really do is understand what he’s doing. However, I cannot execute such sheer badass-ness!! True master! The best.
agreed - I played drums for a few years and I absolutely cant figure out what he plays . But he sounds great and looks effortless. Amazing guy.

Look deeper my friend. The world of Weckl is a school where drummers must attend to become modern drummers. Lol.
All jokes aside, please do yourself a favor and buy anything with his name on it and own it. Especially this book.
Dave Weckl -- Contemporary Drummer + One: Book, CD, & Charts (Manhattan Music Publications) www.amazon.com/dp/0769247938/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_wkDPAbCBFXPMA
It’s quite advanced. It takes a few years to get through. It’s recommended that you start with his play along Books 1and 2. These are hands down the best drumming play alongside made. They have almost flawless charts, and the top players on the recordings... MIKE STERN...CHICK COREA!!! Come on!!
Be brave and don’t give up! You will start to understand the language. Mr. Dave wants you to learn. Eventually you should join the club and become a member of his online lessons! Cheers!

WORD
He's not a mortal man
His precision is amazing; and you can hear melodic lines in his playing! Still head and shoulders of the newer drummers, this guy plays music not just flashy chops and each part of the solo is a pure statement in itself!
It's just mind blowing how Dave never stops challenging himself to take it to yet another level. Been enjoying his playing for decades now and as soon as you think he's reached his summit he gives us all this. F*#kin' beautiful Dave...Just Beautiful.
One of the best on the top 10 drummers of all time... feeling, creativity, dynamics, technique... you name it !
👍👏👍
Top two him and vinnie
I have watched Dave for decades...I melt every time I see him play... a true genius of his instrument....what else can I say.
GENIUS... The sophistication of Dave's drumming is astonishing. The precision of his drumming... the beauty of his drumming amazes me every time I listen to him. No wonder he has millions of fans !
Dave is one of my heroes. Amazing Drummer!
I've been listening to Dave since the first Electric Band LP and it always to this day amazes me how he flows thru very intricate and technical fills during an odd time piece with shots and pushes and never ever loses his place. I've never heard a stumble or a pause to catch himself. I'm sure Dave would disagree but I've never heard one. Simply the greatest drummer of the last 3 decades. imo
Man, I could happily listen to this dude solo all day. The dynamics and musicality of his playing, let alone the mind-boggling technique are spell binding. I had the good fortune to sit about 6 feet from that left hand at Ronnie Scott’s and I can safely say that I have never witnessed such fluent command of a musical instrument. I actually wept. Legend
To me, this is the greatest solo in history.
He's catching up to Buddy Rich...
I think he passed Buddy a while back, IMO. Buddy is freaking amazing. Dave is freaking amazinger!
His Fluidity and ...'Creativity'....Simply Unparalleled.
I know there are many incredible players out there… While I appreciate them all immensely, Dave is my favorite...
Wow ! Dave NEVER disappoints.., NEVER !!!
Badass. Been listening to Mr. Weckl for years and I never get tired of it.
Omg this is what drumming is ...chops,groove,dynamics,dynamics,dynamics.....all mixed into a 🔥.
The lightness in which he can play at speed is astounding.
I mean i know I have already commented but MY GOD, this man is amazing!!! I listen to this on repeat and get amazed every single time! What a legend! LEGEND!!!
Dave is the master of technique! It's also really nice to hear him playing a kit that's voiced like this. It's refreshing!
Dave's not my favourite drummer, but any time I really want to see what is possible on a drum kit, he's one of the people I look to. Sounding even more impeccable than ever!
This is my fav Weckl solo. So many ideas, so interesting and musical.
The dynamics and musicality he has is uncomparable.. 😍😍
A genuine free spirit on the instrument - bravo Dave!
One of the greatest!
He is still evolving and exploring new things. Incredible.
Dave just keeps getting better every time I see him. OMG
The best solo i've heard from dave in years, perfect
Everything about this is just right... no other word to explain it.
dave weckl one of my favorite drummers
One of cleanest drummers out there. Its like listening to surround sound.
Your fluidity on the kit blows my mind... Fantastic stuff! You're one of the greats, no doubt.
Probably the BEST drum solo I've ever seen/heard. Drums sound amazing too.
I love the way Dave plays so constantly & such ease. Those single handed rolls are simply awesome, with such tambour control! Wow!!
I can't stop watching this solo! Transcending! Thanks Dave!
This man will go down as the greatest musician drummer that’s ever graced the planet. His timing, flexibility, fluidity, and absolute to adapt to any situation is a God given talent and he took that talent and really perfected it.
Wow! Dave never disappoints! One of the best solos I've ever seen and I have seen a lot !
Everytime I think I just saw and heard of the best of Dave Weckl, he resets the bar again and again. Musicality and silky smooth grooves infused with unmistakable originality. He continues to amaze and inspire me and so many I know. Thank you Dave!
Dave was born to play the drums. He makes it look effortless.
In my personal opinion Dave Weckl and Steve Smith are both maybe the best examples of drummers playing even better and more musical now than in their young days. I don´t feel the same with others drum legends.
throw Todd Sucherman in that mix and we have a deal
My sense is Dave practices all the time, and as he gets older, he gets more "musical."
Daniel G right 👌👍
Absolutely, then just keep getting better. They somehow improve their technique and overall chops while also becoming more subtle and musical at the same time.
Insane, as always. For me, the best drummer.
The fluidity and musicality...!! Gorgeous. It's so pleasing to hear. Thank you so much Dave!
Never ceases to blow my mind!!!
The technique is absolutely amazing
OH ITS SO AWESOME NICE PLAYING
Wow! Such speed, fluidity and dynamics! One of the best, EVER!
Man!!!!!! Dave is so awesome. Tears came to my eyes watching him play.
I’ve seen him in Los Angeles, San Diego and even in Guangzhou, China with Oz... AND Dave! You Killed it, Even jet-lagging and on drums that weren’t what you had asked for.
With musical specialization so prevalent in our world, after Buddy Rich, it seems impossible to pick the "best" drummer in the world IMHO. If it was possible, is there anybody better than Weckl? Such deep command of technique, feel, speed, independence of limb, and textures in his soloing. It's like watching a finely-tuned athlete on the kit. Props to Gadd and Vinny as well.
My favorite drummer too, I've been following him way back from his first back to basics drum DVD
one of the most creative drums solos ever heard. musical, inspirational, playing tunes on drums
Tight and the consummate professional..love that he uses traditional grip too!!!!
The musicality and dynamics in that solo. I don't know many drummers that can solo for that long and keep it interesting. So lucky to see him at Ronnie Scott's
I make it a point to watch a Dave Weckl solo each and everyday. Skill, feel, drum tuning and sound just so inspirational.
An absolute master - a drummer's delight to watch, learn, acknowledge the mastery, the level where Dave is at. Long may it continue !
God bless the audio guy.
Indeed 👍
there's a 98% chance that it's Dave himself
Absolutely.
This video sounds better than 99% of all other CZcams videos, even in 240p.
Seems to me compression is not the problem. I suggest most videos that sound crappy did already so before they were uploaded.
YES! Smooth as...s butter! =) Wish you many years of new musical experiences to come!
I've missed the weckl! Playing better than ever. A true master!
Daves my idol!! Always looked up to him. All the best Dave - Cheers
Dave makes this look so fluid and easy. Add to that the fact that his creativity is astronomical and one just has to sit with mouth agape watching THE MASTER.
The absolute master. Feel and dynamics like nobody else comes close to. There are a lot of great players but to me Dave is king. Thanks for uploading.
One of the best drum solos i have ever seen! Beautiful! Thank you Mr. Weckl!
I remember watching him in early 80's jamming in a local dive in New Rochelle. He was amazing then, now he is legendary.
Smooth as silk.
And what is nice about DW is that he can play any genre
Time after Weckl doesn't stop to amaze me. His technique, creativity and energy it's second to none.
the dynamics, the musicality, the technique, the fluidity of ideas just blows me away, every time you play.
You keep producing solos like this, Dave. It's not natural. Superb.
Dave is at that grandmaster level where you can just admire in awe of how high a human can climb in the art ladder.
Oh, so THAT's how it's done. Got it.
LOL,....yep,...that's it.
Exactly... That's talent
Ryan MoonCat RIGHT THAT PART!!!
Dude, hilarious!
If only I'd known this sooner. LOL
The man is like a fine wine. Gets better through time. Absolute legend
I remember going to Guitar Center before the age of CZcams and seeing Weckl in a video while buying drumsticks. It was the craziest thing I had ever seen a drummer do up to that point. I love that his playing has transcended and he is still very relevant.
